SOME DRIVERS WHO ARE ANGRY ABOUT RED-LIGHT CAMERAS ARE ABOUT TO GET A BREAK. ONE LOCAL TOWN IS THE FIRST TO PULL THE PLUG ON THE CONTROVERSIAL CAMERAS. GREG FOX EXPLAINS WHY AND HOW THIS IS GOING TO CUT A DEEP HOLE IN THE TOWN'S BUDGET. THE TINY CITY OF DUNNELLON IN WEST MARION COUNTY IS ONE OF THE 80 CITIES OR COUNTIES IN FLORIDA THAT HAVE RED-LIGHT CAMERAS LIKE THAT TO CATCH RED LIGHT RUNNERS AND TICKET THEM WHILE ALL OF THAT IN THIS TOWN IS GOING AWAY. THAT MEANS NO MORE CAPTURING RED LIGHT RUNNERS ON CAMERA AND MAILING TICKETS. DRIVERS WE TALKED WITH HAD SHARPLY DIFFERENT VIEWS ABOUT DUNNELLON DITCHING ITS RED LIGHT CAMS. SOME THINK THEY MAKE INTERSECTIONS SAFER. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. OBEY THE LAW. OTHERS CALL THEM PIPELINES FOR GOVERNMENT TO DRAIN CASH FROM THEIR POCKETS. BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THEY'RE REALLY FOR SAFETY. I THINK THEY'RE TO RAISE REVENUE. LAST YEAR DUNNELLON'S RED-LIGHT CAMERAS GENERATED MORE THAN $800,000 WITH THE STATE KEEPING A BIT MORE THAN HALF AND THE CITY KEEPING THE REST. THE MAN OR WOMAN THAT'S GOING TO RUN THAT LIGHT, A CAMERA IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE THAT. THE MAYOR LED THE EFFORT TO REMOVE THE CAMERAS AFTER GETTING COMPLAINTS FROM TOURISTS WHO FLOOD THE TOWN TO ENJOY THE RAINBOW SPRINGS. HE SAYS LOCALS CALLED FOR COUNCIL TO REMOVE THEM DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE TOWN COULD USE THE MONEY TO COVER A BUDGET DEFICIT. I DON'T KNOW IT'S THE LOSS WE THINK IT MAY BE. AGAIN, WE NEED EVERY DOLLAR. BUT AT WHAT COST. DRIVERS ACROSS THE REGION WILL STILL BE FEELING THE PAIN FROM RED-LIGHT CAMERAS WITH MORE THAN $12 MILLION LAST YEAR BEING SENT TO THE STATE. NEARLY $11 MILLION GOING INTO LOCAL GOVERNMENT COFFERS. $23 MILLION IN ALL. EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN STILL SEE THE CAMERAS AT INTERSECTIONS IN DUNNELLON, NO TICKETS ARE BEING MAILED OUT AND THE EQUIPMENT ITSELF WILL BE REMOVED IN THE
